Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back in the 1860's, gold fever was not only in California but in the Northwest as well. There lived a different breed of men then, most trustworthy and honorable and some hostile and unsavory. These men faced banditry and frozen death and others found legendary wealth in gold. They were all lured to hidden, stolen, buried gold and gold that was to be had for the taking. In the vast Indian lands, which soon became territories, tent and log towns sprang up and then were abandoned with new discoveries of gold, while some grew and remain to this day. This book is a compilation of stories of men in their quest for gold in the Northwest.
